Chelsea vs Aston Villa Preview - 24/09/2023 - Premier League
Chelsea are set to face Aston Villa on Sunday, September 24 in the next matchweek of the 2023/24 Premier League.
The Blues seem to be picking up right where they left off last season, with a rather concerning position at the lower end of the domestic table.
Their most recent match, a goalless draw against Bournemouth, doesn't instill much hope for an immediate change in their fortunes. It's imperative that Pochettino works his managerial magic sooner rather than later, and facing Villa might provide the perfect opportunity to kickstart their revival.
On the other side, Unai Emery and his team are enjoying a solid start to the season, currently sitting comfortably in seventh place. They're showing strong potential for securing a European qualification spot, a prospect that continues to look increasingly likely.

Chelsea vs Aston Villa Prediction - 24/09/2023 - Premier League
Aston Villa had to put in significant effort to secure a 3-1 victory against Crystal Palace, and their performance on the road this season has been less than stellar, with two losses in three away league matches.
On the other hand, the West Londoners' home form has taken a notable dip. There was a period when the Blues were virtually unbeatable at Stamford Bridge, enjoying a four-year stretch without a home league loss. However, since the beginning of 2023, the club has managed to win just three out of their last 15 home Premier League games, suffering a 1-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest in their most recent outing.
Considering the recent form, injury situations, suspensions, and the overall confidence levels of both teams, it's our firm prediction that the final score will be in the guests' order: Chelsea 0 - 1 Aston Villa.
However, according to Vbet.com, Mauricio Pochettino's team are the clear favorites to win the meeting.
Chelsea win: 1.84
Draw: 4.00
Aston Villa win: 4.30
